Taylor Swift earned the VMAs Video of the Year award and announced a surprise album will be released in October as she accepted her moonman on stage Sunday night at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.

The 32-year-old singer also revealed that she had made MTV history with four of the nominees in the category being women, a first for the awards show which began celebrating musical artists in 1984.

“Midnights” will be Swift’s 10th studio album, and fourth new recording with Republic Records after she left Big Machine Records following the fallout with Scooter Braun over ownership of her master recordings.

She’s since been re-recording all of her music into “Taylor’s Version” albums.

“I’m so heartened by the fact that for the first time in VMA history, four of the directors nominated in the video of the year category are women,” she told the crowd. “I’m so proud of what me made.”

She added: “We wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans.”
